This year sees the 21st Anniversary of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). To celebrate this wonderful achievement there is a Anniversary Baton Relay from all five gateways to the Trail culminating in a Celebration Festival at the mid-point of the Trail.
With the Trans Pennine Trail crossing through Trafford, Manchester and Stockport there will be an afternoon of celebration events on Tuesday 15th June. The timetable is (something) like this:
2.30pm at Jacksons Boat - the Baton will handed on from Trafford to Manchester
Pupils from Brookburn Primary School will then walk with the Baton to Chorlton Water Park.
From there a Trans Pennine Trail ranger will set off at 3.30pm and cycle with the Baton to Simons Bridge where it will be handed over to Stockport for the next leg of the journey.
For more details of the Manchester events please contact

I absolutely love the Trans Pennine Trail, its such an interesting cross section of all that the North has to offer. The only thing missing is some information about the history and culture of the places one passes through which is what I decided to research and write about.
